Here is a rather detailed report on Saturday's race.  I had plenty of time at the airport and on the airplane so you, the reader, get a nice verbose write-up.  I hope to right up a second post tonight that talks about the rest of the trip. This past weekend I raced in the San Francisco Triathlon at Treasure Island, which is the final ...

Raced today in beautiful San Luis Obispo, CA.  It rained, but a fun time was had by all.  I took tenth overall with a good swim, good bike and a rather flat run.  I should clarify that the course was quite hilly but my run performance was flat. I finished a few spots ahead of Jeff Piland and moved into third in the Tri-California ...

Last weekend I raced in the Triathlon at Pacific Grove.  I was feeling really good about my swim & run fitness coming in and I expected/hoped to make the main swim group, then break out a new run PR.  As it played out, I didn't swim quite as well as I hoped but my run was pretty solid. I settled in to fifth place in the swim pack ...

(Note: I am back-dating this post so that it ends up near the actual race date in the sort order.  Let me know if that is a blogging faux pas.) I had a business trip to Texas at the end of August so I decided to spend the long weekend visiting friends in Austin.  It also just so happened that the Austin Triathlon was taking place, so I ...

Yesterday I raced in the Lake Stevens 70.3 Triathlon and while it wasn't the first sprint finish in the short history of half-Ironman I had a lot of my own "firsts:"Deciding to do a pro race the day before -- I'd been hurt a bit and wanted to see my legs hold up for a relatively painless training run ... which took until ...

I apologize for the gap between posts -- I've been unusually busy lately as we went through our final preparations for the HealthVault Solutions Conference.  Oh yeah, I also had the Escape from Alcatraz the day before the conference.  Needless to say, I spent lots of time on the phone, writing email and participating in LiveMeetings ...

I just got back from a memorable trip to Seoul for yesterday's ITU Asian Cup race.  At least I *think* it was yesterday -- we flew over the International Date Line about 16 hours ago so I'm not really sure what day of the week it is anymore. Let's get the race details out of the way first: I put a lot of effort into it but the body just ...

Leading up to this Saturday's Avia Wildflower Long Course race I had a bit of bravado about how far my run has come.  I told anyone who would listen that I was hoping to get out there and log a sub-1:20 run split.  I didn't show enough respect for the brutality of that bike and run course, and I felt plenty of remorse for this oversight ...

As I mentioned in my last post, I did a write-up about recent racing action last week that got lost in the Series of Tubes that is the internet. Up here in Seattle, the weather has been hit-or-miss to the point that our March 29th bike race in Bellingham got cancelled due too snow. My friend Ben did a nice write-up about that one, complete with ...

I had a lot of fun at Team Group Health's Independence Valley Road Race this weekend and also showed why riders like me don't win bike races.  Here are some tips that can make you into a strong perma-four, just like me:Train a lot. Be one of the stronger riders in the field so that you're able to hang out near the front of the ...
